Rebecca Davis unaware of the amount or the source of the funds used for blood money.
Rebecca Davis, Raymond Davis’ wife, on Thursday said she is confident her husband acted in self-defence when he shot and killed two Pakistani men, Faizan Haider and Muhammad Faheem.
She said she was also sure her husband would return to the US but did not know when.
When asked about the blood money, she said that she was unaware of the amount or the source of the funds.
Davis was released by a Sessions Judge Yousuf Aujla yesterday after the families of the victims pardoned Davis in exchange for blood money (Diyat).
Rebecca also claimed to have received letters from Davis, but was not able to speak to him while he was incarcerated.
She said she learned about her husband’s acquittal through phone calls from people who she did not name.
